I'm waiting for them to arrive from Brazil actually. Reports I've heard compare if favorably to the Smaragd. Marcello Colombo used to fly the Smaragd, and now prefers his Eclipse, although I admit it would be bad marketing to NOT prefer his own design

As far as kit quality, my information says it's as good as there is on the market today. Again.. I'll know more as soon as I get mine.

Kits & ARC's should be arriving in about a week. Don Kanak (Planes Plus) has recently made me a rep for the line, so if you're interested in getting one, let me know and I can give you a bit of a discount over the normal price.
